God presides in the divine assembly

1
God stands in heaven in a meeting of all the spirits whom he has placed in charge of what he created. He tells them that he has decided this:
2
“You must stop judging people unfairly; you must no longer make decisions that favor wicked people!
3
You must defend people who are poor and orphans; you must act fairly toward those who are needy and those who have no one to help them.
4
Rescue them from the power of the wicked people!”
5
Those rulers do not know or understand anything! They are very corrupt, and as a result of their corrupt behavior, it is as though the foundation of the world is being shaken!
6
I previously said to them, “You think you are gods! It is as though you are all my sons,
7
but you will die as people do; your lives will end as the lives of all rulers end.”
8
God, arise and judge everyone on the earth because all the people groups belong to you!
